there's just not enough here to make it a worthwhile retread through familiar territory, proof of Robin Wright's basic competency as a director but nothing more
the setup is ripe for a story we've all seen before; there are corners of this quiet little film -- less a plot-driven narrative than a two-person character study -- that feel powerfully true, in ways that surprise
the film has nothing much to say about grief or the healing process; For a film that centers the quiet sadness and mental retreat of grief, Land equivocates with regards to the topic, stifling any meaningful growth
Robin Wright directs and stars in this simple but resonant story about a woman who finds personal salvation in a remote mountain cabin among a punishing, yet nourishing landscape
quietly heart-wrenching and keenly observed; "Land", which marks Robin Wright's first time at the helm of a feature, poses some of life's starkest questions with a simple, elemental force, and with deep wells of compassion
Edee is played by Robin Wright, who not only makes us feel her pain but also makes an effective and visually lush directorial debut about a woman who seeks to lose herself, but against her wishes is found
despite pretty vistas and a typically watchable performance from Robin Wright, "Land" proffers rather too tidy a reiteration of things the movies taught us long ago about how embracing life..
a soulful, but simple, take on nature and trauma; Robin Wright is relaxed and almost meditative as she takes in the beauty of the horizon, and her simple directing captures the majesty of nature
a predictable grief drama and survival story; Mourning takes all shapes, grief has no timeline, and pain is as personal, but “Land” grapples so uneasily with such heady topics that the result is the total absence of new insights
a directorial debut so pure and simple; So bless Robin Wright for paring "Land" down to a beautiful haiku, and for delivering a performance that's ambiguous and understated in all the right ways
"Land" is both a tribute to the triumph of the human spirit and an examination of the difficulties of setting aside modern conveniences for primitive survival
"Land" is a visually-appealing and delicate feature debut for director Robin Wright and boasts another strong performance for the accomplished actress, even if its journey feels somewhat cliche and unoriginal
